CALIBRATION OF ELECTRODES
• The indicator electrode is usually platinum.
• In practice, the SHE is not a convenient field reference
electrode.
• More convenient reference electrodes include saturated
calomel (SCE - mercury in mercurous chloride solution)
or silver-silver chloride electrodes.
• A standard solution is employed to calibrate the
electrode.
• Zobell’s solution - solution of potassium ferric-ferro
cyanide of known Eh.
